The field BigNews Camaro is a performance improvement of the base V-6 engine for model year 2011. Chevrolet engineers managed 312 of the power of the 3.6-liter engine, now pushes cram the basic engine of the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger.
These days, however, car manufacturers must also keep an eye on fuel consumption and the base engine is the big seller.
That the public finances back toroots attractive styling of the fifth generation Camaro is a sophisticated rear-wheel drive chassis, two powerful engines and engineering technologies. E 'was developed in Australia and will be built in Canada.
The emergency-Camaro also has revived an old rivalry head to head with the Ford Mustang again.
The Camaro LS and LT are equipped with this powerful, direct injection V-6. This engine is equipped with a six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission paired. Flat-out acceleration to 100 km / h in six seconds.
The high-end Camaro SS has a powerful 6.2-liter V-8 engine, 425 hp six-speed manual is a churn and to get 400 hp six-speed automatic optional matic.Itcan 100 kmh in less than five seconds.
Compared to the '67 original, the new Camaro is longer, wider and higher. It has large wheels, and also provide a slight increase in overall height.
My test was a Camaro LT with RS (Rally Sport / $ 1,995) package. This adds 20-inch wheels, xenon headlights, rear spoiler, unique taillights and the RS badge.
The Looks
Maybe "Inferno Orange Camaro was quickly nicknamed" Lightning McQueen "Cars as a film character.
nose shark, black-out grille and extra long hood are important features of the project Camaro. The hood is aluminum and has a dome of power that seems cool, but is not functional. The entire rear and side of the body is just a piece of metal. The package appeared on my Camaro RS discharge lamps, high pressure testing, headlights with led lights "Halo" rings add even more distinction.
INSIDE
The steering wheel has a tilt and telescopic manually adjustable front seats and a good size regenerous and support offerings. The dashboard and instruments are not subject to large external style. The re'salack visual interest and warmth, over-exploitation of the lack of evaluation and stains the same color of plastic storage in the cabin, as well as his right glove size of a disappointment. The rear legroom is tight and space is limited. However, it is useful, if only for the storage, but do not have to be there. The re'salso a trunk pass-through behind his drop-file if you need to take another question.
SAFETY
No crash-test results always available, but a good result is expected. Unlike the Mustang, side air curtain (head protection) bag is standard on the Camaro.
DISCO
The small glass surface, which chopped Camaro sports a roof, not because of the limitations of the driver. You sit very low, my shoulder above the door was, and the tip of its long hood on his chin. Headroom is a problem for older drivers, especially if the optional sunroof. A disadvantage of the design that closely, in most coupes, the awareness and mirrors is not helping the Camaro. possible to the rear C-pillars are very wide, and low roofline extends slightly beyond the pilot to make it more difficult to see traffic lights when you are at the front. All is forgiven when you press the gas pedal and you're done. Although Mustang uses a traditional solid rear axle, the Camaro a sophisticated independent suspension setup with coil springs and an isolated subframe. There is a difference that an advantage is a winding road the Camaro.
A surprisingly good handling sports car is a blast to drive the Camaro, like 6-V has more than enough performance for most engine drivers.Its all right tone for an amateur sports car ambitious and eager for his regime 7,000-rpm limit, min but you get decent fuel economy.
